The 1983 Kansas City Chiefs season ended with a second consecutive 6-10 record, and last place finish in the AFC West. To begin 1983, the Chiefs fired head coach Marv Levy on January 4 after compiling a 31-42 record. Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach John Mackovic was named the fifth head coach in team history on February 2. The 39-year-old Mackovic became the youngest individual ever to hold that post for the club. The Chiefs held the seventh overall pick in the quarterback-laden 1983 NFL Draft and selected Todd Blackledge. The five other signal-callers selected in the first round that year included John Elway, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien, and Dan Marino.show more
